50                 For simple assignments, this interface is very simple, EmitAssign is called with source
51                 as the source expression and leave_copy and prepare_for_load false.
52                 
53                 For compound assignments it gets complicated.
54                 
55                 EmitAssign will be called as before, however, prepare_for_load will be
56                 true. The @source expression will contain an expression
57                 which calls Emit. So, the calls look like:
58                 
59                 this.EmitAssign (ec, source, false, true) ->
60                         source.Emit (ec); ->
61                                 [...] ->
62                                         this.Emit (ec, false); ->
63                                         end this.Emit (ec, false); ->
64                                 end [...]
65                         end source.Emit (ec);
66                 end this.EmitAssign (ec, source, false, true)
67                 
68                 
69                 When prepare_for_load is true, EmitAssign emits a `token' on the stack that
70                 Emit will use for its state.
71                 
72                 Let's take FieldExpr as an example. assume we are emitting f ().y += 1;
73                 
74                 Here is the call tree again. This time, each call is annotated with the IL
75                 it produces:
76                 
77                 this.EmitAssign (ec, source, false, true)
78                         call f
79                         dup
80                         
81                         Binary.Emit ()
82                                 this.Emit (ec, false);
83                                 ldfld y
84                                 end this.Emit (ec, false);
85                                 
86                                 IntConstant.Emit ()
87                                 ldc.i4.1
88                                 end IntConstant.Emit
89                                 
90                                 add
91                         end Binary.Emit ()
92                         
93                         stfld
94                 end this.EmitAssign (ec, source, false, true)
95                 
96                 Observe two things:
97                         1) EmitAssign left a token on the stack. It was the result of f ().
98                         2) This token was used by Emit
99                 
100                 leave_copy (in both EmitAssign and Emit) tells the compiler to leave a copy
101                 of the expression at that point in evaluation. This is used for pre/post inc/dec
102                 and for a = x += y. Let's do the above example with leave_copy true in EmitAssign
103                 
104                 this.EmitAssign (ec, source, true, true)
105                         call f
106                         dup
107                         
108                         Binary.Emit ()
109                                 this.Emit (ec, false);
110                                 ldfld y
111                                 end this.Emit (ec, false);
112                                 
113                                 IntConstant.Emit ()
114                                 ldc.i4.1
115                                 end IntConstant.Emit
116                                 
117                                 add
118                         end Binary.Emit ()
119                         
120                         dup
121                         stloc temp
122                         stfld
123                         ldloc temp
124                 end this.EmitAssign (ec, source, true, true)
125                 
126                 And with it true in Emit
127                 
128                 this.EmitAssign (ec, source, false, true)
129                         call f
130                         dup
131                         
132                         Binary.Emit ()
133                                 this.Emit (ec, true);
134                                 ldfld y
135                                 dup
136                                 stloc temp
137                                 end this.Emit (ec, true);
138                                 
139                                 IntConstant.Emit ()
140                                 ldc.i4.1
141                                 end IntConstant.Emit
142                                 
143                                 add
144                         end Binary.Emit ()
145                         
146                         stfld
147                         ldloc temp
148                 end this.EmitAssign (ec, source, false, true)
149                 
150                 Note that these two examples are what happens for ++x and x++, respectively.
